The explosive growth of quick-service restaurant (QSR) delivery and online retail necessitates high-quality, reliable, sustainable packaging for e-commerce. Eastern Printing Materials (EPM) provides the core materials, advanced coatings, speciality inks, and adhesives that enable manufacturers to produce 100% plastic-free, compliant, and high-performing sustainable packaging solutions in Dubai. By focusing on plant-derived, bio-based inputs, we help businesses achieve genuine sustainability and participate in the circular economy.
Our Aqua Green line of coatings directly replaces synthetic polyethylene (PE) liners, the major culprit in packaging waste, which often renders products non-recyclable.

Key Material Benefit
Aqua Green Coatings
QSR Wraps, Boxes, Cups
Ultimate Oil and Grease Resistance (OGR): Certified with the highest rating (KIT 12), ensuring product integrity and protecting brand appeal during delivery. These coatings also endure extreme temperatures, from deep-freeze (-38°C) to hot liquids (+140°C).
STUCCO™ Adhesives
Food Containers, Windowed Boxes
Bio-based, direct food contact safe adhesive that bonds paper to non-absorbing surfaces (like PET film), crucial for window patching. It dries completely odorless and transparent.
KARBOND™ PB
Shipping and Grocery Bags
A cold water-mixable powder adhesive composed of natural ingredients, designed to manufacture structurally strong, eco-friendly bags for packaging. Using this powder eliminates the need for synthetic glues, saving processing cost and energy.

These foundational materials ensure that whether packaging is used for consumer goods or QSR delivery, the final item contributes to a viable recycling stream. For instance, paper coated with Aqua Green is easily re-pulpable using just water, avoiding the need for additional chemicals. This capacity to produce truly eco-friendly bags for packaging is vital for the modern logistics chain.
EPM offers a complete material portfolio beyond coatings and standard adhesives, critical for producing certified and premium sustainable packaging for e-commerce and luxury retail:
Aqua Green IML Coating (In-Mould Labelling) : This bio-based coating is essential for labelling rigid plastic containers (like dairy tubs, ice cream containers, and food buckets). It features low migration and low odor, making it food-safe, while providing high gloss, rub, and heat resistance. The IML coating is compliant with the Swiss Ordinance and EU food packaging regulations.
EcoMax™ Ink : Ideal for printing on all external packaging, EcoMax is a VOC-free (Volatile Organic Component-free) ink based on 100% vegetable oil, rather than petroleum solvents. It is critical for ensuring that outside printing is odourless, a key factor for food-grade QSR packaging, and retains high rub resistance.
Amiwax LM 1700 : This FDA-compliant, low-melting-point, crystal-form paraffin wax is used for cap seal liners (e.g., on glass jars for dried coffee or milk powder), replacing less safe traditional waxes.
Specialised Foils : For luxury and high-end sustainable packaging for e-commerce branding, EPM supplies Holographic and Hot Stamping Foils, specialising in applications for cigarette boxes, glass perfume bottles, and luxury chocolate packaging.
All EPM Aqua Green and associated products are verified 100% plastic-free and hold international safety certifications, including US FDA 21 CFR 176.170 & 176.180, and are confirmed to be PFAS-Free and RoHS compliant. Utilizing these materials helps manufacturers avoid Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) taxes levied on non-recyclable goods. EPM supports production capacity up to 14 metric tons per day, supplying liquid products in packaging sizes up to 1100 kg IBCs.
